Foresight Call upon knowledge from across the ages.

2
Requires Seasoned
You possess superhuman wits and insight.
Used by Ezekiel "Zeke" Keele, Created by Monday.
( Your hourglass marked right-eye must be used or obviously visible while you are actively benefitting from this effect.)

Upon activation, Zeke's right eye flashes with a violet, mystical flare as it witnesses time itself unfold before him. Revealed are both glimpses into his immediate future and divinations from across all of time, granting him an endless library of knowledge.

You gain the following benefits as long as you have your hourglass marked right-eye.

Your Intellect rating is increased by 1. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Intellect (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Time is Brain: Your mind is a receiver for information across space & time, making any tears significantly worse. Any Mind Penalty you have is multiplied by 1.5, rounded down.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Time's Chosen: You are the genius in which time itself has entrusted itself to, superior to anyone else you meet. You must succeed a Self-Control roll in order to believe something or take an action which contradicts this delusion (Delusions of Grandeur).

If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Never Forget: You have a perfect photographic memory, and can recall or recreate even complex and detailed things. If you forget something you had previously seen or noticed, you may ask the GM and they will remind you.
  • Quick Thinking: Any Intellect rolls other than Power activations are made as Free Actions. You get +2 dice to all Initiative rolls.
  • Re-Think: You may wait until after all relevant rolls have been made to decide whether to Exert your Mind and get +1 to the Outcome. If Exerting would have caused you to ignore your Stress and roll more dice, you may roll that many additional dice as well.
  • You may Exert your Mind any number of times per Round, including multiple times for each roll

  • When you exert multiple times, if you have the Enhancement Push Through It, the lingering Outcome bonus is limited to +1.
  • If your hourglass marked right-eye is damaged, destroyed, or lost, you lose all benefits from this Effect for the next two months.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.
